Training Camp 2013 (Updates, News, Reports)

[Ravensfan23]

Not much scarier than having Oher there. 

 

Yea I thought about that but didn't post it. I guess if a guy proves he can handle the job then there isn't much issue.

[Ravensfan23]

Jah Reid was with the first team at LG.

 

So I guess at one point the starting Oline was Wagner, Reid, Gino, Harewood and Oher? Far cry from the SB oline.lol but I'm not concerned. It's early in camp and Harbs usually push these guys hard, so their bodies just have to get back into the swing of things.

[gabefergy]

Call me crazy, but I think if McKinnie doesn't play, I think we're better off with Wagner starting at LT and keeping everyone else where they are. Wagner may be our future at LT. I really believe that.

I'm not sure Wagner is LT material. KO I think will be the second option behind BMac.

[Sami84]

osemele will be fine..a tweak is nothing..believe me..every single player is going to have a tweak and pull up..when we start hearing the words ''tear'' ''fracture'' ''broken'' '' level 3 sprain '' (even that) then you get worried.

Yeah not totally sure about RG, but I'm assuming it was some combination of Harewood, Shipley, and Gradkowski depending on who was at C.  Definitely scary though, but it's early in camp.  We know Yanda will be fine.  But even if he's not, he'll still play since that's just what Yanda does.  KO should be fine as well, and McKinnie said he was aiming to practice on Saturday, for whatever that's worth.

[Sami84]

im guessing hes 5 pounds overweight (b-mac). Yanda played through his injuries last year and was boss. in many ways its good to have the young guys have a chance to face the first choice D..might see something new

Nothing crazy about that. You give the guys on your squad a shot and find out what they have. As if the Ravens haven't had any surprises in camp before....

Yea its good to get those guys a taste early. I agree with Bmac, it's probably not much because that guy has really worked hard judging by all the reports and tweets. Harbs probably gave him a really tough weight to make and Bmac missed it by a couple of pounds. You know Harbs doesn't make it easy for these guys.

 

I heard Ngata is getting a fair amount of time at NT today, so Gino and Shipley should be getting good work.

Hope KO's injury is very minor

If it was anything but minor..the news would be all over it..remember..twitter loves dramatic bad news.. it is was it is..a slightly pulled hamstring..the most common injury in sports

[BALTIMOREFLACCO]

Gotta love Mckinnie showing up overweight again

"Thats how I role baby"

It's got to the point with bmac that you can't help but smile...

John harbaugh on mckinnie 'bryant is too heavy right now' says he's in shape for cardio but team wasn't comfortable having him out there yet

Bryant is just being Bryant

[scrock]

I dont get it, McKinnie was working hard all offseason or so it seemed...maybe he really just cant lose weight, in any case let the guy play and work it off

[Ravensfan23]

Breaking News, RG3 and Revis aren't the only guys making a comeback from ACL injuries. Webby says he's feeling good, easing his way back and hopes to be a good for game 1. I'm sure NFL Network and ESPN won't cover it as much as the other guys, but that's great news to me.

[Sami84]

Daryl smith being praised by harbs. Doesn't shock me whatsover. Him and dansby are the best linebackers of the past 7 years not to be in the pro bowl. But they are both truly pro bowl players.

after all that work, he must of hot one of elams shorts & took it the wrong way.

I'm with you man, it's not like he was on his butt in Miami this year.  It's hard to get mad at him when he was active in the off-season program.

[ravensdan]

I would not be shocked to see one of these lines in Denver....

Ko/harewood/gradkowski/yanda/oher
Wagner/ko/gradkowski/yanda/oher

[Sami84]

nah...bmac will start..also hes in better shape than he was at this point last year.

...If our starting LT, that we're paying starting LT money, is not playing in game 1 we should all be shocked, concerned, and (unless it's due to an injury unrelated to being out of shape) downright livid. I don't think that will be the case, but if it is...something not so valuable in my apartment will end up broken.

I really hope one of these young guys prove they are up to the task and can make mckinnie finally expendable. There is alot to be said for reliability and dependability.

[Ravens1991]

I am glad to hear Deonte Thompson is working the middle of the field well. His speed in the slot will be amazing. He seems to be a hard worker who really improves a lot.

I heard he had a fairly unimpressive day. He did some things well, but had drops on a few very catchable balls and one being a TD.

Thats the thing with all our guys fighting for jobs. DT is the fastest on the team and can work the middle of the field with his route running and Doss has some nice moves and has nice hands but their consistency just isn't there when it comes to catching passes. Especially the drops we heard about which were ones we expect pro receivers to make. I really hope they show up before forcing us to go to FA. I really don't want use money for that, when we have so many young guys who are supposed to step up in light of the Boldin trade. Also in my opinion if Doss cannot show consistent hands he will lose out to DT. That is supposed to be his bread and butter yet we always hear and see him dropping passes.

The last statement is a misconception. Name a time outside of the Colts game that he had a drop. That's all people seem to remember. I'm not 100% sold on him, but I do have to point it out every time someone says he constantly drops the ball. It's just not true.
